Chapter 17: The Bark Man
Looking down from the sky, you can see the entire Luogu Island. The roads are crisscrossed, the streets are neat and regular, and the whole island is arranged like a giant chessboard. The southeast of the island should be a living area, with shops, hospitals, parks and other facilities; The northwest of the island should be a production area, a canal surrounds a small airport, behind the airport is a semi-circular fortification-like building, behind the building is a shining silver area, it looks like a pearl embedded in the island in the sky, it should be the island's mushroom plantation park.
Mushroom cultivation does not require much sunlight, and it is understandable to use reflective materials for greenhouses.
Ren Qiuling was secretly frightened, the layout of the island gave her a familiar feeling, and she suddenly felt that there was a military camp below. Two patrolling teams can also be seen on the streets, although they are not wearing military uniforms, but the queues are neat and orderly.
"The other party may have a gun!" Ren Qiuling said nervously: "The layout of this island is like a military camp, but it is plausible. So the head of the island is a military fan. Military fans will be obsessed with the military, the main reason is the worship of power: the army is a symbol of the public power of the state for them, and the gun is a symbol of personal strength for them. There was once a military fan who had illegally collected a new type of gun that could arm a company, and by the time we caught him, he had never fired a single shot! ”
Zou Yan, Hui Yan and Mei Laodao all scoffed at Ren Qiuling's words, they were all deeply cultivated, and they were not afraid of guns and bullets.
Mei Laodao drove the yellow crane around the sky, pointing downward: "With such a big island, where is Master Zhiguo's magic body hidden?" ”
Zou Yan was not afraid of causing trouble, and said loudly: "Catch someone and ask, I have many means to make him tell the truth." He smiled disdainfully, the endurance of ordinary people was a joke in his eyes.
Suddenly, the sound of "Peng" was heard, and the left wing of the yellow crane suddenly exploded, and the feathers and flesh exploded, mixing into a cloud of pink smoke in the air - the enemy had already spotted them and fired!
Zou Yan took Ren Qiuling's hand and flew towards the earth with her. Hui roared angrily, and the golden light flashed on his palms, and the golden light reflected on him, reflecting his whole body as if it was made of gold, and he jumped down from the crane's tail.
Mei Wanghe and Yellow Crane have been dependent on each other for hundreds of years, and their feelings are very deep, and they are still reluctant to give up Yellow Crane at this time, holding the crane's neck and floating to the earth with Yellow Crane - Yellow Crane can't bear one wing, like a fallen leaf fluttering in the wind and making irregular movements, but dodging countless bullets fired at it.
Ren Qiuling was stopped by Zou Yan's hand, and she only felt that her whole body had become extremely light, like a piece of flying flotsam - this may be Zou Yan's spell, or it may be the psychological effect of her being held by her sweetheart. Before it fell on the small airport, a golden light came first, and it fell on the small airport first, and the airport was like being hit by a cannonball, and there was a "boom" explosion, and countless yellow sand and stones flew up.
Zou Yan blocked in front of him, and slashed more than a dozen stones and cement blocks that hit him from bottom to top, and then fell to the edge of the deep pit that was shot out by the golden light. There was a loud "bang" in front, but it was the yellow crane carrying Mei Wanghe and fell. The Yellow Crane became very large at this time, and even if it was covered by yellow sand, it was very easy to be hit by bullets, but fortunately, its foothold was right behind the helicopter, and the bullets could not reach.
The gunfire on the opposite side was silent all of a sudden, and the movement made by a few cultivators was indeed very loud, and ordinary people would indeed be startled.
Mei Wanghe jumped off the crane's back and hugged the yellow crane's neck and wept silently.
A golden light slowly rose in the deep pit, but it was the monk Hui Yan who stretched out a hand and slowly crawled out of the pit like a mud-stained golden Buddha statue. "You have traveled thousands of miles, all for my master!" Monk Hui said, "Senior Mei's mount was also injured because of this, and I will ask the enemy for this account!" The golden light on his body was even more blazing, like a small sun in the long yellow sand, he took two steps forward, suddenly turned back and smiled at Ren Qiuling, and whispered: "I'm going to roar with a Buddhist lion!" Remember the three words! ”
Although Ren Qiuling was held by Zou Yan, she didn't dare to slack off on such a life-and-death matter, and read aloud at the moment: "Hum, boom!" Buzz, boom! ”
Hui Yan turned his head and took a deep breath, and suddenly bent his knees, like riding a horse; The fists are clenched, and the muscles in the arms are bulging; Leaning forward, the green tendons on his bald head throbbing like a snake - he used all his strength to open his mouth wide at the tall building, but to outsiders, he didn't make a sound.
Vajraji!
The roar of the lion in Buddhism is deafening in many novels. However, it is silent!
Ren Qiuling nervously voiced the roar of the Buddhist lion: "Boom, boom! Buzz, boom! Her voice trembled, and she did not have the majesty of a lion's roar, but was as nervous and frightened as a oriole bird under a lion's claws.
Ever since the golden light on Hui Yan's body was at its peak, countless bullets had poured down on him, hitting him with a "ding" sound, as if hitting a piece of metal, and not a single bullet could penetrate his skin and cause him substantial damage. This is the vajra body of Hui Yan's supernatural power, which is transformed from the palm of Vajra.
By the time his lion's roar was launched, the gunfire stopped, and countless screams rang out from the high-rise building opposite the airport, and from time to time someone broke through the glass and jumped out of the window.
After about thirty seconds, Hui Yan received his supernatural powers, straightened up and watched intently. There was a dead silence in the six-story building opposite, and several corpses were half-hung from the windows, their hands hanging limply and swaying in the wind, like clothes hanging on the windowsill.
Mei Laodao, who was holding the crane wings and was sad, couldn't help but be frightened, and sighed and said: "The lion roar of Buddhism is really worthy of its name!" This roar killed at least 200 people, and there was not a single living person in the building opposite! ”
Hui sighed, "Alas! The poor monk killed you, it is really a last resort! May you have an early life of bliss and be free from the sea of suffering! The poor monk is beyond you! He clasped his hands together, bowed to the tall building repeatedly, and muttered a mantra in his mouth, but he couldn't understand a word.
He's good, killing people and overtaking the integrated service.
Zou Yan saw that the danger was lifted, let go of Ren Qiuling's hand, threw a Gu worm to Mei Wanghe, and said, "I forgot just now, let's treat it!" ”
Before Mei Wanghe could react, Huang He stretched out his mouth like lightning and swallowed the Gu worm, and shouted twice at Zou Yanhuan to show his gratitude.
"This place is so well guarded, there may be some great secret. Maybe the body of Master Zhiguo is among them? Ren Qiuling spoke, striding towards the building.
Zou Yan followed closely behind Ren Qiuling, his eyes turning vigilantly, like a bodyguard. Mei Wanghe made the yellow crane as small as a ginkgo biloba, and put it in an intimate place in the placket, so he kept up. Hui was chattering, and she also followed.
Beneath the tall building is a wide aisle that can accommodate two trucks in parallel. Passing through the aisle, you can see silver tents erected in the plantation. These tents are about three meters high, eight meters wide, and twelve meters long. Each tent is covered with a special layer of fabric, which, despite the wind and sun, has not faded or stained the gray in the slightest, and is as clean as if it had just been washed.
When Hui Yan saw the tent, he was anxious, hurriedly accepted the mantra of Chaodu, recited the Buddha's name "Nan Wu Amitabha", and stepped forward to open the curtain of the tent, looked inside, and immediately exclaimed, put the curtain back three steps, and looked frightened.
Everyone has seen Hui Yan's supernatural powers just now, but I'm afraid that there are not many things in the world that can scare him. I don't know what kind of fierce thing is hidden in that tent, which can scare him into a faceless face!
Zou Yan thinks that he is well-informed, and he will not be as useless as Hui Yan, even if there is really an ancient beast hidden in the tent, he can't scare himself, he confidently took a few steps forward, lifted the curtain and looked inside, and immediately seemed to be motionless like a wood carving, and there was a voice in his throat: "Uh-"
Ren Qiuling's curiosity was aroused, she stretched out her head from under Zou Yan's arm and looked into the tent, and shouted in fright: "My mother! ”
Inside the tent, countless tree roots were entangled, and mushrooms were popping up from the roots—it was a beautiful picture, but those roots grew from people who were tied to iron pillars behind their backs.
"Bark Man!" Ren Qiuling only learned from the computer that there was such a strange fungal infection patient, called the bark man. Infected patients will develop tumors like tree roots on their skin, but the disease will not kill people, but will slowly torment the patient. There are very few bark people in the world, and it is very difficult to find a single case, but inside this tent, there are about forty bark people—the result of artificial infection.
The forty or so bark people heard the human voice and slowly turned their faces to Ren Qiuling. Their faces were covered with tumors, some of them were punctate, like toad skin, some were flaky, and there were only a few small holes in the entire scabbed face. Seeing Zou Yan and them, these bark people were stunned for a while, and then a female bark man said, "Save me!" Then everyone else cried out, "Help me!" Save me! "The sound was very loud
They shook on the iron pillar, and the mushrooms on their bodies fell to the ground.
Only now did it become clear that their hands and feet were twisted into iron pillars by iron wires, which were deeply embedded in the flesh, and covered with tumors shaped like tree roots, which would not have been discovered without careful inspection.
Ren Qiuling glanced at Zou Yan inquiringly, Zou Yan sighed and closed his eyes and shook his head. He lived in a time when there were no such cases of bark people, and he couldn't really help him save them.
The hope in the eyes of the bark men gradually turned to disappointment, and suddenly someone went crazy and slammed the back of his head against the iron pillar behind him, only to hit the mushrooms that splattered blood everywhere and stained the ground red. The other barkmen also went mad and slammed into the iron pillars that held them in place.
The two silently put down the curtain of the tent, and the sound in the tent disappeared at once - it turned out that the inside of the tent was a cement wall, but the outer layer of fabric was very special, which had the effect of isolating sound.
Ren Qiuling had tears in her eyes, but just shook her head and sighed. There are such vicious people in this world who arrest people to do such experiments.
